JokersWild24 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Virginia may win this one, but if I'm a Cavaliers fan, I'm really worried about my team's ability to shut the door on teams. They've had Duke dead to rights, but haven't been able to really push it out. Now Duke is only down 8 with 8:00 left, Devils ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their offense they will never be able to fully put someone away IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokersWild24 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 I know UVA's defense is a big part of it, but this is an awful shooting night for Duke. They'll usually hit some of the looks they've had, but I'm sure it's also tough to get going and feel like you are in a rhythm when a team defends you as well as Virginia has.

GrizzlyAdams Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Trying to stay optimistic here. Good news is Duke can fill it up quick from any where. Bad news, I dont see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need more balance because they defend well enough to crush teams. At some point in tournament play, you are going to have to be able to score the ball. I don't know how Virginia responds to a team blitzing them with an early 10-12 point run where they just make some shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurplePride92 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They are playing Okafor really good in this one. Good game plan for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so frustrated watching Duke throw up the rock tonight. Its painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyAdams Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 They are playing Okafor really good in this one. Good game plan for him. He is doubled so fast it's unreal. I'm really impressed with how quick they collapse on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokersWild24 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Perfect example: Duke is again down 4. Against a team who as just a "pretty good" offensive team, that lead could be as many as 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzlyAdams Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Finally. They need to get Okafor some kind of looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JokersWild24 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 They are playing Okafor really good in this one. Good game plan for him. Agreed, but I also feel like the refs have been generous enough with how much they let go on the bodying when he's trying to get position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
